Too Close for Comfort?

Most people play slot machines because of the fact that they are easy and that they are a solitary game. Social people don’t usually play slot machines because it is not really their thing to hang out with a machine that doesn’t talk back to them. After all, isn’t video poker just a way to play poker without having to talk to people?

That is why it came with some bewilderment the announcement that Bally Technologies had created a new slot machine that would allow people to play together. They say that this slot machine is for those people who don’t like playing it by themselves and are constantly looking for ones they can get together so as to keep that social aspect.

However, it seems to be that they are in the minority of slot machine players. They say that this slot machine is for couples who like to play the slot machines together, and they think that it is bound to take off. They unveiled the “slot machine built for two” at the Global Gaming Expo last month. They think there is a good chance that they could be changing the face of gaming.

The new slot machine is called DualVision and it is bringing community slot machine play to a whole new level. It has one video display but two seats so that two people can sit down and play at the same time but separately. They will be able to share the credits that they have purchased and won with each other, and will be able to play at the same pace or at different ones. It just seems to go against the idea of slot machine playing, but who knows – it could take off!
